By the end of this lesson, you’ll have an idea of how dynamic sites work, and what they are created to do; you’ll have Macromedia Dreamweaver configured to work with dynamic data; and you’ll have created your first page that uses dynamic content.

This chapter is from the book

You have reached a significant milestone in the revision of the Newland Tours site. You have created and marked up a new page,
created a cascading style sheet for the entire site, built a template, and enhanced the site’s accessibility. Glancing at
the site in a browser, it may not seem like you’ve accomplished two lessons’ worth of work. But you know what important things
are going on behind the screen: You’ve laid the foundations for a standards-compliant, future-proof, maintainable site.

Beginning with this lesson, you’ll cast aside (for the most part) traditional, static Web development, and move into database-driven,
interactive, dynamic site development. Before you can start developing, though, you need to work through some prerequisites,
of both a conceptual nature and a technical nature. By the end of this lesson, you’ll have an idea of how dynamic sites work,
and what they are created to do; you’ll have Macromedia Dreamweaver configured to work with dynamic data; and you’ll have
created your first page that uses dynamic content.
